(Tutorial Fast Forward) Crazy Accurate Speedy Dynamics

Let me know if you like this format!

New experiment! In this Fast Forward Chris goes over the key points of a longer tutorial for more advanced users. In this video, we'll go over techniques for setting up dynamics for complex objects using super fast and accurate spheres.

This was so interesting and out of this world type of tut. Thanks Chris. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much! This trick with spheres is brilliant and very helpful!

I also vote for tank treads - thanks for the videos Chris!

Reminds me of the cloth reveal episode where you used the spheres to fix collisions quickly! Brilliant

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

These continue to be excellent, as they always have been - this one as useful to an experienced Cinema user as the longer version presumably is for those new to the program and dynamics concepts in general :) Just a small suggestion though, if I may ? Lose the end music. I use tutorial videos to relax and fall asleep to at the end of long days, whilst continuing the learnings. And your voice, with its sonorous calming qualities makes that very easy... UNTIL you kick in the loud abrasive theme again at the end, at which point I am jerked awake, and very much wish it wasn't there.

Most of the time, I am animating watch movements. Clutches ratchets sockets etc. The wheel dynamic is not vital. It can simply be xpressoed but which ever the size or precision setup I applied, I could not succeeded the simulation of these clutches in c4d. It works fine in solidworks but not unfortunately in c4d.

These mini tutorials are lovely. Can you do tank treads next? You did one once for another company. I wonder if your approach would be different now.
